I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

This is a gene-enhancing drug created by Hugo, specifically designed to transform ordinary humans into monsters devoid of self-awareness.

The thousands of monsters in the East District were created by Hugo killing and creating them along the way.

Fortunately, this guy knew that after occupying the East District, he would still need to exploit the civilians for profit, so he did not take action against the civilians in the East District.

The only rule is to allow monsters to attack gangs and prohibit them from entering private homes.

Before long, more than a dozen brand-new monsters were born.

They seemed not to have adapted to their new bodies, struggling to stand up unsteadily before their heads were blown off by a beam of particle energy falling from the sky.

Red and white blood splattered all over Hugo. He looked at the figures coming from the sky and the other end of the alley and said angrily, "What, it's you again!"

Bruce emerged from the shadows of the alley, his face expressionless, and said, "You will pay for what you have done, Hugo."

"You want me to pay a price?"

Looking at Batman in front of him and the iron fist above his head, as well as Catwoman and the green-skinned boy whose name he didn't know blocking his way at the other end of the box.

There were only four of them, including Iron Fist and Catwoman, who almost got killed by themselves when facing more than a dozen low-level monsters last time.

Now, thousands of enhanced monsters outside the alley immediately surrounded him at his command.

Seeing the huge difference in numbers between the two sides,

Hugo smiled.

With 800 to 4, the advantage is in my hands!

He laughed maniacally, "The price is that I will tear you all to pieces! Monsters, kill them all!"

Upon hearing the news, eight hundred monsters sprang into action, rushing towards Depp and his companions from outside the alley.

Some of the monsters climbed up the outer walls of the surrounding houses, trying to grab Depp who was in mid-air.

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and several bolts of lightning struck Depp and the others.

Bruce was shocked to realize that his reactor was once again filled to near overflow.

He didn't know that Depp was actually with him; in his mind, Depp was still in the toy factory's office building.

The toy factory is at least five kilometers away from here. He didn't expect Depp's lightning spell to have such a long range!

Moreover, and most importantly, even from a distance of five kilometers, the lightning strike could accurately recharge the group of people.

What incredible control over magic!

Depp... he's truly unfathomable!

In the alley, Hugo, unaware of the source of the lightning, thought that Depp and the others were just incredibly unlucky to be struck by lightning.

Seeing this, he laughed even harder and said, "Hahaha, even the thunder is helping me. You will all die here today!"

Then, Hugo saw in mid-air, the Iron Fist, bathed in lightning, with two scarlet laser beams on its mechanical arm dancing like red snakes, cutting all the monsters who entered the alley into pieces of mangled flesh.

Bruce, Selena, and the others also began to launch a fierce attack on the remaining monsters around them.

After a series of impressive moves, Depp felt like he had mastered the art of hand gestures.

It even has a laser!

Hugo was stunned when he saw his monster army wiped out in an instant.

Then, he let out a heart-wrenching wail: "Monster man, my monster man!"

These monstrous beings are the culmination of his hard work and dedication!

Depp slowly landed in front of Hugo, casually picked up a hideous monster's head, looked around, and shouted:

"There are no monsters left now."

Then, he threw the monster's head into Hugo's arms and said:

"Look, isn't this a monster grown out of season in a greenhouse?"

"Why does it break so easily?"

Chapter 69 Depp's Toy Factory (Final)

"It breaks at the slightest touch?"

Hugo's brain is short-circuiting right now. How could so many of my monsters be killed by these people in such a short time?

That's outrageous! How come these people level up so much faster than me?

But right now, nobody cares what this guy thinks.

Depp handed Hugo to Bruce and picked up the latter's computer to check it, which showed the locations of all the monsters.

“Bruce, I think we should split up.” Depp showed the laptop to the group and said, “I’ve already loaded the location system from this computer into my armor’s hard drive. I’ll tell you the location of the other monsters in a bit.”

Bruce nodded and said, "No problem, but what should we do with this guy?"

Depp thought for a moment and said, "Let Wellen stay here and watch over Hugo for now; he's almost at his limit too!"

At this moment, many of the scales on Wellen's body had been deformed and twisted by the monster's attack, and blood was seeping from under the scales.

After discussing their route, Depp, Bruce, and Catwoman immediately split up to search for the monster.

"Bruce, the monster is 300 meters to your left front!"

"Selena, the monster is behind the wall in front of you!"

"Wayne, watch out for the fence on the left side of the alley, a monster has just passed by!"

Two hours later, all the monsters were wiped out by the group.

Hugo was also sent to Gordon by Bruce, who then sent him to Blackgate Prison.

After Gordon left, the warden of Blackgate prison clearly didn't want to take on Hugo, this hot potato, so he immediately dialed Arkham's number.

Inside Arkham Asylum, Hugo, dressed in a hospital gown, gripped the railing tightly with both hands.

He kept muttering to himself:

"Once I get out, I'll slaughter you all!"

"Once I get out, I'll slaughter you all!"

"Once I get out, I'll slaughter you all... Aba aba aba aba...."

Suddenly, after a crackling sound of electricity, Hugo collapsed, drooling and convulsing.

The thin, electrician dragged Hugo little by little to his ward and took out the electrotherapy device hidden in his sleeve.

"Don't worry, friend, the pain won't last long..."

Inside Depp's antique shop, a few thugs from Naihe Island, after drinking and harassing and beating an innocent and pitiful woman, decided to pry open the door and make a quick buck since no one was home.

After prying open the door, the group slipped into the antique shop one by one in the dark.

As the last thug entered the antique shop, the door creaked shut again.

Then, after a series of exclamations and crashes, the antique shop returned to silence.

Gou Dan'er, standing on the front desk, let out a burp, keeping his accomplishment to himself.

Inside the Bobby Toy Factory, in a pool of blood that hadn't dried in front of the office building, Depp's figure slowly materialized.

He strode into the office building and took off his armor.

Then, under his control, the armor began to deform and shrink, turning into a rectangular black guqin box three seconds later.

Depp placed the long case of the guqin in the corner and dialed the phone number of Landry, the owner of the toy factory.

"Hey, boss, I'm the guy who was going to buy the toy factory yesterday."

“I’m right at the entrance of the office building. Yes, all those gangsters have left.”

Hearing this, Landry finally dared to crawl out from under the office bed. He peeked out the window for a while before daring to go downstairs to pick up Depp.

Over the next few hours, Depp chatted with Landry about the factory's equipment and staff while waiting for Bruce to arrive.

When they split up earlier, Bruce clearly intended to gravitate towards the toy factory.

Knowing his intentions, Depp didn't expose him, but let things take their course. After all, he had the skill of transferring water molecules, so he would definitely arrive at the toy factory before Bruce.

A shadow flashed by outside, and Landry turned to look at the window but saw nothing.

However, Depp knew that Bruce had already checked it.

Then, Landry nervously led Depp on a tour of the entire factory.

To be honest, Depp was very satisfied.

The factory itself occupies a considerable area, with three large production workshops. Although the equipment is old, it is well-maintained and ready for immediate use.

Regarding the staff issue, Depp stated that he was willing to accept all long-term employees back and give them a 50% raise.

Landry was delighted to have met such a straightforward buyer as Depp. That very night, he signed a contract with Depp and then quickly left the East End.

Depp bought the factory, which was originally worth more than ten million, for only two million, which made him feel like he had made a huge profit.

Furthermore, the gangs in the East District have been wiped out by the monsters, and he believes that the housing prices in the East District will gradually recover in the near future.

So now, Depp has Wellen searching online for all the large properties in the East End that are up for sale, and then buying them all if the price is right!

This time, Depp is not only prepared to go all in with all his money, but also to borrow some more from Bruce.

Anyway, once the property prices in the eastern district recover, I'll make a fortune!

Bruce did not refuse Depp's request for a loan, but stated that he could only lend Depp a maximum of $50 million in his personal capacity.

Depp then used the $50 million plus his original $30 million to purchase 21 factories and 40 houses in the East District.

A few days later, news broke that the gang unrest in the East District had been completely quelled.

Although the Gotham Police Department stole the credit, the soaring housing prices in the East Side still thrilled Depp.

After selling two houses to pay off Bruce's debts, Depp has now become the richest man in Gotham's East Side.

Meanwhile, the toy factory is also about to start operations.
